Cerebral lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma.

چکیده
A case of cerebral lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma is presented. A 76-year-old man underwent TACE for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Immediately after chemoembolization, his level of consciousness deteriorated. Computed tomography revealed deposition of iodized oil in the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and thalami. Magnetic resonance imaging showed restricted diffusion within the thalami and basal ganglia. The patient's level of consciousness gradually improved, and all neurologic symptoms disappeared over 6 weeks.

Pulmonary lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has become an effective alternative treatment strategy for patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although TACE is relatively safe, pulmonary lipiodol embolism is a rare and potentially fatal complication which is often not anticipated by physicians. About 14 patients with pulmonary lipiodol embolism progressing to respiratory di...

متن کاملAssessment of Lipiodol Deposition and Residual Cancer for Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization via Iodine-Based Material Decomposition Images with Spectral Computed Tomography Imaging: A Preliminary Study
BACKGROUND It is critical to follow up hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in clinical practice. Computed tomography (CT) is used to assess lipiodol deposition, whereas it is difficult to assess hypovascular residual cancer masked by lipiodol. In contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is superior to CT in showing residual cancer, but cannot d...

We report the first European case of cerebral iodized lipid embolism post transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma. Lipiodol emboli and corresponding multifocal brain ischemia were documented with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) in the acutely symptomatic patient. Transcranial Doppler sonography with contrast indicated a right-to-left shunt, while on...
